Executive Summary
Opportunity
Problem Summary
INSTRUCTIONS: Describe very briefly why your business needs to exist. What problem do you solve for your customers?
Solution Summary
INSTRUCTIONS: Briefly summarize what your company does. The executive summary should be very short and you can go into more detail later in the plan.
Market
INSTRUCTIONS: Describe your target customer or market segments. Again, keep things very brief in the executive summary and add more detail later in the plan.
Competition
INSTRUCTIONS: Summarize your key competition. Who will your customers also consider?
Why Us?
INSTRUCTIONS: Write a brief overview of you and your team. Why are you the right people to build this business?
Expectations
Forecast
INSTRUCTIONS: Write a brief overview of your financial targets. How much do you plan to sell in the next year? What are your long-term sales goals?
Financial Highlights by Year
INSTRUCTIONS: Insert a chart of your key financial metrics here. Tools like LivePlanwill do this for you automatically.
Financing Needed
INSTRUCTIONS: If you are writing a business plan to raise money for your business, include a brief summary of what you are looking for. If you aren’t raising money or getting a loan, you can delete this section.
Opportunity
Problem & Solution
Problem Worth Solving
INSTRUCTIONS: Write a little more detail than you provided in the Executive Summary about
the problem you are solving. What do your customers need? Do they need a better product, a
cheaper product, or just a store in a better location? Describe why customers will want to buy
from you.
Our Solution
Dave and Jacky Incorporation will primarily produce and sell a variety of hamburgers. It will also
offer sauces, coffee, tea, desserts, and juice fruits. The company will produce meat burgers (To Yuma
Deluxe) and vegetable burgers (Saddles deluxe). The company’s signature dish will be a 4 oz of locally
100 percent grass fed beef meat burgers. These flame-kissed products will be smothered in nacho cheese
for mouthwatering flavor and accompanied by a ripe slice of fresh tomatoes from local farmers. The
hamburger will be gently caressed within pretzel bread. For vegetarians, Dave and Jacky will offer them
with saddles deluxe, a 100 percent vegetable hamburger. This 5 Oz bean patty will be infused with
seasonal vegetables and dusted with paprika. Saddle deluxe is a slab of vegetable pepper jack cheese and a
slice of local fresh tomato that is penetrated by golden pretzel bread.
Currently, the nearest specialized hamburger restaurant is nearly one and a half miles away from
Dave and Jacky Incorporation intended location in the Cambridge area, Massachusetts. Nonetheless, there
are other corporate run franchises located near the company’s intended location that also include
hamburger among other products or menu items. Even so, the quality of their products does not match
Dave and Jacky’s product offerings. Nonetheless, the company considers them as its rivals because they
offer low
prices for lower quality hamburgers and are located within a one and a half mile radius from its location.
For competitive advantage, Dave and Jacky Incorporation will rely on better quality and specialized
products, state of the art equipment, better location, faster service, skilled manpower, and better recipes.
The company will offer high quality products at an affordable price and will serve it hot on time to a
customer’s door. In essence, Dave and Jacky is a concept developed out of the desire for an alternative to
corporate based fast food franchises. It focuses on convenience, availability, and sustainability. The aim is
to serve simple menu made of fresh, local ingredients. The company will source the best ingredients from
local suppliers and make everyone a happy customer.
Target Market
Market Size & Segments
INSTRUCTIONS: Describe your key customers – who they are and what their key attributes are.
If your company is targeting multiple customer groups (also called ‘segments’), describe each
group here. If you can, include details about how many people are in each segment and how
large the total market is.
Competition
Current Alternatives
INSTRUCTIONS: Describe your current competition. What products and services are people
using instead of yours?
Our Advantages
INSTRUCTIONS: Explain why your product or service is better than the others. Also, be sure to
describe any competitive advantages you may have, such as a patent or other unique component
to your business.
Execution
Marketing & Sales
Marketing Plan
INSTRUCTIONS: Explain how you plan on getting the word out about your product to your
target market(s). Will you use advertising? Perhaps you are developing a content marketing
strategy. Whatever your marketing plans may be, describe them here.
Sales Plan
INSTRUCTIONS: If your company relies on sales people to close sales deals, you need a sales
plan. Your sales plan should explain how you convert people who express interest in your
product or service into paying customers. If you are opening a food truck, this section is less
important and you can consider removing it. However, if you are starting a sales-heavy business
like enterprise software or a car dealership, then you need to document how you will nurture
leads and close deals.
Operations
Locations & Facilities
The company will lease a commercial property in Cambridge Area, Massachusetts in September
2020 for five years, with the option of extending the lease period for another five years. Since the
company will leverage supplier’s logistics, it will not acquire delivery vans for distribution purposes.
Nonetheless, it will require office supplies such as desks, chairs, and office stationery.
Technology
INSTRUCTIONS: Describe any important software, hardware, or other information technology
that you use now or plan to use later to operate your business. That might include a point-of-sale
system to take payments, an e-commerce engine for your website, a CRM solution for managing
your pipeline, marketing tools for generating leads, and so on.
Equipment & Tools
After taking six months looking for a convenient area, the owners decided to rent a commercial space
in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The capital will be used to acquire kitchen equipment, inventory, legal fees,
packaging and other materials, rent, advertisement, inventory on hand, and legal expenses as indicated in
table 1.
Kitchen inventory will consist of necessary tools and accessories required for hamburger production and
service facility. They include:
● Utensils such as cooking utensils, cutting guide, and rocker knives as well as wheel cutters
● Food preparation attire and equipment such as aprons, gloves, blender, trays, mixers, and storage
containers, condiment bottles, tableware, glassware, pans, and cleaning equipment and supplies.
● Burger tools such as hamburger press burger maker, meat tenderizer pounder, meat grinder, burger
cookbook, salt and pepper mill duo, pocket thermometer, burger seasoning, BBQ spatula, and
griddle pan.
Kitchen equipment comprises a hamburger oven, burger bun machine, hamburger display equipment,
cooler package, and refrigerators. Seventy five thousand worth of long term assets will be bought over the
next three years, using a straight line method of depreciation. A list of equipment to be bought, including
prices and terms of acquisition, will be availed for investor’s consideration. Dave and Jacky
Incorporation’s policy is to buy state of the art equipment from reliable dealers in the food industry.
Other equipment consists of neon hamburger signs, juice dispenser, dish machines, coffee makers and
filters, and tea dispensers as well as cleaning equipment.
Inventory on hand during the start up phase include key ingredients for preparing hamburger, wheat
flour, spices and burger condiments, juices, coffee, tea, and sauces. Others include cookie dough, meat,
bread,
and dessert items. Inventory on hand also includes supplies used during packaging, delivery processes, and
sales. There are several United States based producers and suppliers of hamburger equipment. The
company will choose specific suppliers through a competitive bidding process. The selected manufacturers
must be able to produce and supply quality, energy efficient equipment at an affordable price.
Insurance premium for risk coverage is established at $2,000 for the first 6 months, and will be
negotiated with the insurer. The company will pay monthly premiums through direct debits. Advertising
expenses are estimated at $2,000 per annum and will be used for marketing information materials. Legal
expenses will include business formation, contract reviews, and business advice. Most importantly
businesses must have permits in order to operate legally in the Cambridge area, Massachusetts.
Milestones & Metrics
Milestones
INSTRUCTIONS: List your key milestones and the dates that you hope to accomplish them by. If you’ve already accomplished key goals for your business, list them here as evidence that your business is getting traction – in other words, it’s getting positive attention from potential customers.
Key Metrics
INSTRUCTIONS: Explain which performance metrics are most important for understanding how your business is doing. What does success mean for you, and how will you know it when you see it?
Company
Overview
Dave and Jacky Delicious Incorporation is a privately held limited liability focused on fast food
production and delivery service. Based in the Cambridge area, Massachusetts, this is a family owned
business, managed by Dave Simpson (myself) and my sister Jacky Simpson. Dave and Jacky
Incorporation is a take away restaurant where clients order food at the counter. It is not a sit down
restaurant that offers table service. The company aims to meet customer expectations for exceptional
quality hamburger delivered in a friendly manner. The entity will serve a 20 mile area with at least 1
million residents, and one of the fastest growing populations. The business’ location provides high
visibility and large traffic of customers. Dave and Jacky are aware that it cannot rely on price alone for
competitive advantage, thus the need to focus on customer expectation.
The company will also focus on its core competencies to determine expectations it can reasonably
meet and ensure that it exceeds such expectations wholeheartedly. Hence, Dave and Jacky will rely on
maintaining and increasing customer satisfaction levels for future growth and development. The delivery
process will be carried out through various food catering online services with excellent references in the
Cambridge area. The business can opt to be one of their major suppliers. By doing so, the company will
not only leverage its partner’s high internet connectivity and exposure, but also save on logistics cost.
Moreover, the business will not buy delivery vehicles because delivery entities will use their own delivery
vans.
During its formation Jacky and I plan to contribute $40,000 each and raise $20,000 from an investor.
In total, the contributed capital would amount to $100,000. In return for investing $30,000, the investor
would control 20 percent of the company ownership. The investor would take part in significant decision
making
such as management, production, and dividend policy before the company’s begins operation. Other issues
worth discussing include: investor’s interest, investor entry, and investor exit strategy before beginning
operations.
Team
Management Team
1. Jacky Simpson
Jacky Simpson will be the chief executive officer of Dave and Jacky Delicious Inc. Jacky has
successfully owned and managed a similar business in Los Angeles, California. She holds a Masters
degree in hospitality management and has more than 10 years working experience in the industry. She
worked as a food production manager at Saussy Restaurants for 5 years before becoming the
organization’s chief executive officer for 2 years. He has, during the last 3 years, operated a take-out food
outlet in Los Angeles, California.
2. Dave Simpson
I will act as the company’s human resource manager. I have more than 6 years working experience as
a human resource manager in different industries including hospitality industry and telecommunication
industry. I have a post graduate degree in human resource management. The company will hire an
accountant to oversee the organization’s financial responsibilities and performance.
The management is expected to utilize the company’s resources effectively, operate profitably, and
abide by relevant state laws and regulations. The management philosophy is anchored on team work,
integrity, responsibility, as well as mutual respect. Individuals would want to work at Dave and Jacky
Incorporation because the company encourages creativity and innovation, embraces diversity, employee
growth, and performance.
Advisors
Investor
It is pertinent to ensure that before incorporation the company must raise adequate capital.
Thus, an investor is essentially an important aspect for the company. The investor has a
significant role to play as he or she will generate capital for the company. Specifically, the
investor will provide $20,000 needed to build and grow the business. These funds will cover
various expenses including marketing, overhead costs, product development, as well as other
resources needed to increase revenue.
Legal Advisor
The legal advisor will help the owners establish a clear relationship with one another. It is
important to make clear deals with co-owners, contractually, in order to avoid future conflicts. A
legal advisor can help establish roles and responsibilities of owners and investors, remuneration,
percentage of ownership in a company, and cash contributed by owners. A legal advisor will also
play a major role in establishing the business structure or model. Getting legal advice can help
owners understand the benefits and shortcomings of a private limited liability company and align
their goals with the company. In Addition, the legal advisor will offer advice about intellectual
property protection, developing a standard contract document, and tax issues.
Accountant
For organizations, finances are complex and confusing. In this regard, Dave and Jacky
Delicious Incorporation will seek the services of an accountant to manage the company’s
financial records, transactions, and accounts. Taxes present significant pain for start-ups,
especially due to ever changing taxation laws. There are many variables from business
registration to type of deductions that an organization makes. As the company’s financial
strategy becomes more complicated, it will be important to employ an accountant to align the
organization’s taxation process. An accountant will also prepare payroll, ensure accuracy of
financial documents, prepare and maintain financial reports, provide guidance on cost reduction,
offer guidance on revenue growth and profit maximization. The accountant will also conduct
forecasts and risk analysis assessments.
Start-Up Summary
It is estimated that the company will require $135,000 in start-up cost, out of which owners and
investors will contribute $100,000. Jacky and I will provide more than 50 percent of total start up cost. In
in particular, we will contribute $80,000, each contributing $40,000. An investor is welcome to take part in
the organization’s capital by contributing $20,000 and would be offered 20 percent ownership of the company
capital. The investor’s fund will be used to purchase equipment and cater for part of start up costs. For the
remaining $35,000 additional funding required to cover start up cost, Dave and Jacky plans to apply for a
five year loan to meet cash flow requirements. The company will use the borrowed money to purchase
equipment based on a list that the company will supply to the lending organization. The loan will be repaid in equal
monthly installments for a five year period. For conservative reasons, the company estimates its annual interest to
be 12 percent. Nonetheless, it will negotiate actual interest rate and borrowing terms with the lending institution.
